New to PVC's

Hi! I am a 45 year old female with no health problems, no medications, non smoker and have recently started having PVC's daily.  I had a 24 hour monitor that showed 1500 PVC but nothing else.  My doctor says no other testing is needed.  I am wondering if the 24 hr monitor is all the investigation I need.  I am also wondering why out of the blue I would start getting these?  My husband had bypass surgery in Feb but is doing great- could it be just stress, or maybe nearing menopause??  It just seems so strange for these to start up so randomly. How oftern do these develope into something else more serious? Thank you very much.

hey everyone,

i experienced something last night that was outta the ordinary for me so i am looking for some responces of similar experiences or just general feedback and thoughts since i know many of you know alot about these sorta things.

i was in my bedroom last night going to brush my teeth and go to bed when i was hit with a bombard of some sort of funny heart flips and pauses and such. i do get this but these felt very different and made my face turn bright red, as well i had gotten dizzy and a feeling of doom. what is stranger is that i had this terrible feeling of fear just mins before that were for no aparent reason. i got the fear (i mean crazy scared feeling for no reason) and then the nuts dysrhytimia stuff that took my breath away. boy it's not great for stuff like that to happen.

i went to the doctor the other day and he told me off about worrying and that i was 100% fine nothing to worry about go and live my life without restrictions. so i am...and i am seeing a councellor which is great. i have been not worring and feeling chipper for three weeks now. then this last night. i mean, whats the possiblity that it was something really bad? i hate to worry but i am again today because of last night. i truely felt more so than any other time in my life, that i would die from it. plz comments i need. help me out here ppl. any feedback would really save me from going back to the anxiety place for too long. :(

if anyone would like to e-mail me it's nurse_kagome***@**** ok? thanks!

beanzz - I think dramatic weather shifts contribute, but I think it's more because dramatic weather shifts cause me pain and pain raises my adrenaline and adrenaline increases the palpitations.

momto3 - Kids grow fast huh?  He turns 1 on December 26th (my little Christmas present, hehe).  It's bittersweet watching him grow.  I'm so proud of him, but yet I'm sad I can't have any more babies.  He makes up for it though, he's of the extra cute and snuggly variety :)

I'm headed for Cleveland this weekend....Looks like I should plan on packing some warm clothes!! Fortunately, Ohio has a lot more going for it than the weather : )  I really miss lots of things about Cleveland (Indians, Cavs, zoo, beautiful summers and falls, the lake, Cedar Point, great medicine, and lots more).

Anacyde,

Can't believe your little one is nearing his first birthday! Seems like only yesterday you were posting about counting down the weeks....

Stay warm!  Looks like our temps are gonna take a dip this weekend too.....

connie

beanzz,

Glad you got some added reassurance from your cardio.  Anytime you need to vent or ask questions, there are lots of great folks around here who can help.

How about stress and anxiety? Many people seem to fall into that category too.  I feel like I could be any of those three.  I have  very minor Gerd, but have noticed since this started I have small burps throught the day that I don't recall having before.  Very fustrating but good to know I am not alone.
